    摘要: A fuel cell system includes a plurality of fuel cell units each configured to generate lower-voltage DC power. The fuel cell system includes a plurality of DC-DC converters each electrically connected to each of the fuel cell units and configured to convert the lower-voltage DC power to higher-voltage DC power. The fuel cell system includes a primary load power conversion unit electrically connected to the plurality of DC-DC converters and configured to output a primary load. The fuel cell system includes an auxiliary load power conversion unit electrically connected to the plurality of DC-DC converters and configured to output an auxiliary load.

    摘要: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to safely activating a fuel cell (FC) within a generator. In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a test for sensitive systems of a generator using backup power including a battery. The method also includes powering an FC and a direct current (DC) converter within the generator to an operational level using the battery, wherein the DC converter stabilizes a circuit fed by the FC. The method also includes, upon successfully completing the test and powering the FC and the DC converter, energizing a load inverter after completing a non-critical sequence that controls support systems of the generator, wherein the DC converter stabilizes energy between the FC, the battery, and the load inverter.
